I've got EK blocks on a few cards, but those new circles? I don't think so, just from the looks....

each to their own of course

But if I were you; don't buy anymore EK blocks

they haven't done any favors for the community by lying and brushing everything underneath the carpet like it never happened......

Im planning to buy AQ block as well, here in EU from Germany, of course

I hope you have more luck than me getting them. I ordered mine on the 1st October for a 12th October delivery. I recieved an email on the 12th saying that they would be delayed for 7-10 days. 10 days later I got an email saying they would be delyaed for 10-14 days. I canceled my order and got the EK blocks instead. Very pleased with them and temps on GPU/VRM/Mem is excellent. I am not saying one is better than the other, just hopefully you will have better luck getting your blocks than I had

Yea that is not cool Well I've already got two of the Supremacy CPU blocks, and I've owned two of the Nickel/Acetal blocks for some of my older 570's....those have all done me good. But I can understand the resentment from others who have not been as fortunate.

buying direct from Aquacomputers is sometimes a PITA as the use DHL.....I would be patient if I were you
IMHO

i'd take quality that takes more time compared to instant gratification where failure through EK though has been reduced still exists and their appalling customer service which I haven't seen evidence of change...../

I understand your way of thinking and I would have been the same but my first experience of buying AquaGFX blocks didn't go to well and I bought from Aquatuning in the UK. When I sent them an email asking if the blocks were going to be delivered, I got a rude reply....I don't hold Aquacomputers responsible at all but I got my stroppy head on and ordered direct from EK and recieved them the next day. 2 hours later, they were in my system and working a treat. I seriously would have prefered the AquaGFX blocks though but my impatience and being spoken to like that put me off.

I run a Power monitor showing what is being used from the wall and running my 3930K @ 4.6 (1.34V), 2*LTGs, 3 HDDs, 1 SSD and 16GB of 2133ram @ 1.65V and a custom water loop (8 fans, 1 D5 pump) was showing spikes of 850W (no OC on the GPUs). I would look for a bigger PSU to be safe
